The duties and responsibilities of the housing office are to provide on-campus housing for all students residing in the Residence Halls, Commons, and Marable Apartments. Students must be accepted to the University and be enrolled full-time for an academic year or semester.
It is the responsibility of the housing office to receive and assign all students who have applied for on-campus housing. Freshmen, Sophomores, and first-year transfer students (students having less than 60 hrs. cumulative) are required to live on campus in a residence hall and to participate in the central dining hall meal program.
The housing department is responsible for assigning over 1800 students to our residence halls and apartments. We also share the responsibility with Physical Plant Services in receiving and tracking all maintenance concerns for our students who reside in the apartments. Every effort is made to comply with applicants' requests. However, since some halls/apartments fill more rapidly than others, the housing office will make assignments as space is available.
Students wishing to appeal a Housing and Residence Life fine imposed by a hall director or counselor should follow the procedure below:
Step 1: The student must make a complaint in writing to the hall director/counselor involved, citing supporting evidence justifying the complaint/appeal. Copies of the complaint will be forwarded to the dean of students and director of housing and residence life.
Step 2: The hall director/counselor involved reviews the written complaint/appeal and supporting documentation, then interviews the complainant and any witnesses before making a decision on the student’s appeal.
Step 3: The hall director/counselor notifies the student of his/her decision in writing and provides copies to the dean of students and director of housing and residence life.
Step 4: If the student is dissatisfied with the decision, he/she may appeal to the director of housing and residence life, along with providing all supporting documentation.
Step 5: The director of housing and residence life may appoint a committee to review the appeal or present the appeal to the Residence Hall Judicial Board for review and recommendation(s).
Step 6: The Residence Hall Judicial Board provides the director of housing and residence life with its decision in writing.
Step 7: The director of housing and residence life notifies the student of the decision and provides copies of the notification to the dean of students and vice president for student affairs and enrollment management.
Step 8: If the student is still not satisfied, a final appeal may be made to the dean of students. All supporting documentation is provided to the dean of students, including decisions and recommendations previously made by the director of housing and residence life and the Residence Hall Judicial Board.
Step 9: The dean of students, after review of all pertinent documentation, renders a decision and informs the student of that decision in writing, as well as provides copies to the director of housing and residence life, the hall director/counselor involved, and vice president for student affairs and enrollment management.
For Residence Halls:
Securing a room requires the student to pay the required $300 non-refundable Housing Application Fee and complete an application by March 31 for the Fall semester and December 20 for the Spring semester. This fee is separate from the Enrollment Fee.

Students can do this by emailing wsamuel1@tuskegee.edu.
